Advanced Educational Qualifications
The ability to generate and make use of innovation depends, among other factors, on the skill level of the labour force working in the region. The proportion of the labour force with advanced educational qualifications is a common proxy for a region’s capacity to absorb and produce innovation. Advanced educational qualifications include university level education, from courses of short and medium duration, to advanced research qualifications.
